**I understand that 95% humidity at 95F is humid, but I am really 
interested in knowing what is a 'humid' climate. Where is the line 
drawn? When the books say something needs to grow in a humid climate, 
what is the definition?

**Yes, 95% and warm is a steambath.
On moist days here, even when we don't get above the 80's we think 
it's humid especially after working outside in it.
But, we're no spring chickens. :-(
